Yes, There Is Such A Thing As A Picky Eater

February 29, 2016 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

“There’s no such thing as a picky eater, just a spoiled child.” I’ve heard this phrase, in every version possible, over the last few years. My oldest daughter, Penny, is a fiery and independent three-year-old. You can feel her strong presence from a mile away. When we realized Penny was a … [Read more...]

Twenty Questions Other Than “How Are You?” To Get Your Kids Talking

January 13, 2016 by Caroline Hoult Leave a Comment

On a daily basis we’ve all been asked the—quite honestly—boring question, “How was your day?” by family, friends and coworkers.

When My Inner Mama Bear Surfaces

January 12, 2016 by Sara Leave a Comment

He didn't get lost in the mall. He didn't slip under the water at a swimming class for a second too long. He didn't dart across the street without looking both ways.

I creep into my son's room on Monday morning and gently break the news to him. "Honey, it's time to get up and get ready to school." I recognize the sound he makes. It sounds like a balloon letting all its air out. Or maybe more like a whoopee cushion being sat on very slowly. It's the sound of a … [Read more...]

The Day My Boys Learned What Makes A Hero

October 9, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

My son Ari came home yesterday in quite a state. "We saw something scary at school today. I can't even talk about it. Josh, you tell her," he said to his brother.

Get A Job!

September 16, 2015 by Sara 1 Comment

Can you remember your first job? I can. It was the summer between grade 8 and 9 and my mom got me hooked up to be a clothes steamer at a Ports International store in Ottawa. I was SO excited to be able to work (was that even legal?) and make some dough. I lasted about an hour. I woke up on a table … [Read more...]

July 28, 2015 by Hania Ahmed Leave a Comment

We've always stressed the importance of being safe in the sun and this story shows exactly why sun safety is so important for not only ourselves, but our kids too.
